Zoobic Safari

Zoobic Safari is the headline animal attraction of the Subic Bay freeport — a 25-hectare wildlife park with a tiger safari, an aviary, a serpentarium, and an Aeta tribal village within the grounds. The tiger drive-through is the main draw: visitors board a caged jeepney that crawls through an enclosure where Bengal tigers prowl and feed.

The rest of the park is more conventional zoo-meets-petting-zoo: ostriches and emus you can feed, a crocodile pit with a feeding show, and a tour of an Aeta jungle camp where guides demonstrate fire-starting and traditional plant uses. Allow half a day. It is around 8 kilometres from the freeport main gate.

A story
Zoobic is the only tiger safari in the Philippines — the Bengal tigers are driven past in caged jeepneys, with raw chicken handed through the bars on long poles for the tigers to snatch. The set-up is unsubtle and not to everyone's taste, but it draws a crowd of Manila weekenders who have never seen a tiger that close.
